We had several, matches that went to the hill (which means there was one fi nal game played to decide the winner because of a tie). Karla Bagley. Trash sites O n June 14 and 15 there was a Memorial pool tournam ent that took place in Madras. This tournament was a complete suc cess. This tournament was held in memory of the late Wayne Schjoll. Wayne was the owner of the Rialto Tavern and has sup port the pool community here for years. There was a lot of work that went into making this happen. I would like to thank Clint Smith, Dixon Polk, Lynn Davis, Sherri Smith, Seagray Littieleaf; and I’m sure there are I w anted to brin g the com m unity’s atten tio n to a growing, but discouraging trend happening here in W arm Springs. While swimming at the creek with my kids I noticed a large pile of trash located nearby. I have noticed that illegal trash sites are more consistently lo cated near the Shitike Creek. The illegal trash sites are very unattractive and can have sig- nificandy negative health affects. Some of the possible health af fects can include: hepatitis, blood borne pathogens, bacterial infec tions, and other preventable dis eases. Identity theft is another prob lem that can result from personal information left in the illegal dum psites. A t one o f the dumpsites we found documents containing birthdates, social se curity numbers, prescriptions, children’s names, court case documents and other personal identifiable information, which could lead to identity theft. Some of the kids often use the waste as submersible objects to dive after. They can unknow ingly endanger themselves by playing with dangerous or con m any th a t I am forgetting. W ith tam inated objects. out people like these folks to help out this type of tournament would not be possible. Also, I would like to thank many local business owners for their gen erous donations of raffle items and sponsorship of the award items. These include: Kah-Nee- Ta, Desert Inn, Redmond Li quor, Rialto Tavern, Madras A uto, E rickson’s Thriftway, Black H orse Saloon, Harley Davidson, Strut Yo’ Stuff, The Supply Depot, Jerry and Janet Bagley, Raymond Riddle, and Lynn Davis arid Lynn Davis Team. Last but not least I would like to thank all the pool players that came to support the tour nament. We had players from Pordand, Bend and several from Washington. There were 17 four-person teams which put stress on the tournam ent com m ittee right from the get go wondering if we were all going to be taking Monday off work. The bracket was drawn and play started. For . the most part matches went well and everyone seemed to be hav ing a good time. Matches were The Warm Springs youth swim in the Shitike Creek con stantly during the hot summer month's. It is disturbing to see young children swimming in the creek with solid waste located so close by. There have been reports of hypodermic needles and drug paraphernalia also located near the swimming areas above the “block.” Parents should be cau tious when allowing their chil dren to swim at certain locations along Shitike Creek. Be sure to inspect each swimming location for drug paraphernalia, broken bottles, household waste, hypo dermic needles, burnt aluminum foil, chemical spills,'snakes, bee hives and other possible health hazards. Remember that we all have responsibility to keep our water, air, and land clean. Have a safe and enjoyable summer. Be safe and drink plenty of water.

My mom and I really appre ciate all of our family, friends, m om ’s co-workers, the tribal enterprises and com m ittees, plus the community o f Warm Springs for all o f your support o f my trip to the National Con test. Thank you. TaSheena George. Proud of you This is to my big sister T. Tail. I just want to tell you and the whole rez how proud I am of you. You have come a long way in your young life. Through the good, the bad and the ugly, but this is one o f the best times for you and there are many more to come. You are very encouraging to me. I hope when I get out of this place I can take the next step in my life and do what you just did. Graduating from the Youth Builders School is not only a good example for our kids but for us sisters too and the young people in Warm Springs. My big sister, you’re still so young yet. This isn’t the end but only the beginning. So keep going and do what you need to do to better your life not only for your three girls but for yourself as well. You will always be in my prayers and I will always love you. Toni Elaine Tail. See you soon, C.Rose. Forever Richard Bentley Walker, If you’re asking if I need you, the answer is forever. If you asking if I’ll leave you, the answer is never. If you asking what I value, the answer is you. If you asking if I love you, the answer is I do. O n Friday the 13th o f July 2001, the best o f luck came my way. It actually took me by sur prise! But I grabbed that luck and held on tight. I questioned how long I would have it, now long it would last, knowing that my life would be changed - then, now, forever. Seven years later I ’m still here, hanging on, enjoying ev ery minute of this adventure with you Rick. Then, now, forever. Happy Anniversary! I hope that I’ve held up my end, the way you have yours. You have changed my Efe forever and I look forw ard to many m ore years, as you grow older (‘mem ber I’m 21 forever, haha!). I thank you for the strength, for the laughter, for the tears, and I want to tell you, Richard Bentley Walker, you definitely are “My Reason.” X’s and O ’s, Su-Yenn. Livestock The 4-H and FFA programs are valuable learning experi ences for many of the youth in our community, and they pro vide a means for these youth to earn money towards their higher education.
